Renew your fan belts, they are about to fail.

Alan, enlarge the picture and you will see the top surface of the inner pair is shredded and the inner cords are exposed.

What is the VIN of your Shadow? Very early cars may not have had degrees marked on the crankshaft damper in which case you will need to use the 2° BTDC mark on the flywheel and set it statically. I have a vague recollection of having to do that on a very early RHD Shadow several years ago.

That's quite a late car then, 1975 - 76, and should definitely have degrees marked on the crankshaft damper. The one I was thinking didn't have them on the damper was SRH5551 so around 1968. Have you gone slowly around the complete circumference of the damper? Using a 7/8ths inch wrench on the power steering pump pulley and pushing in on the belts while you pull on the wrench will allow you to turn the engine over slowly so you can inspect every inch.
